Follow the racers

To follow the Mont-Blanc 80Km runners

After the start given at 4 a.m. in Chamonix, take the train towards ''Le Buet'' to reach the second feeding zone of the race where you can stay few minutes. Then, come back towards Chamonix and stop at ''Montroc'' station. From here, you can take a bus (line 1, 12 or 13) to go to the Tour. Two choices available:

Stay in ''Le Tour'' to look runners on the feeding zone in low valley.

Take the ''Charamillon'' lift and next the ''Autannes'' chairlift to see runners in high altitude (a little hiking will be necessary to lead to ''Col des Posettes'' and ''Tête de Balme'').

Back in Chamonix (bus line 1 or 12), take the special train to the ''Montenvers'' to access a last time in high altitude to support runners with a beautiful landscape: the ''Mer de glace'' and ''Les drus'' in background. You can enjoy it few minutes before going down and look at the arrival place of ''Triangle de l'Amitié''.

Possible variants:After Le Buet feeding zone, you have the possibility to join the Emosson one by the Mont-Blanc Express train towards Finhaut (SUI). Then, take the bus to the dam. Here, the landscape will be spectacular. The crossing of the dam will be a highlight of the 80km.

On returning to Chamonix, instead of using the Montenvers train, take the Aiguille du Midi cable car to access to ''Le plan de l'Aiguille" to see the runners before the last downhill. But you will have to do it fast if you wish to see the finish. The best runners will join the center of Chamonix in less than one hour.
